autism

But man, lil'Spook would read and then re-read Percy Jackson constantly

i read the lost hero, and i own the son of neptune and the mark of athena

and i owned all the original series

but idk what books i have anymore

I've saved all my books, or at least tried my best to

OH MY GOD

Found it on your desk, or something?

I think reading has both ruined and improved my life

99% of the time i dont do my work in class because im reading

"Reading ruins lives"

Hot take there Max

It has probably made my life worse

by my own fault

I wouldn't rule out the idea spooky

but it also brings me enjoyment

"made your life worse"

>implying school matters

Well, max if you're

Yeah, exactly

2.82 gpa btw

>implying school matters

dont give me that idea spookty

Remember who's education standards you're abiding by

I told Umberon the same thing, when he asked a long time ago

but i am....

kappa

lol

xdddddddddddddddddddddddd

HS is the least important thing in everyone's life, that for some reason people think is a life-or-death point for their entire future

maybe because

youre constantly told that, and college relies on that

Because that factors into college/university qualifications

And higher education affects your career and blah blah

And it feeds into the lie, that college choice really matters

but spooky what if i want to work at google

That there's a reason to spend $75k per year, on a """better""" school

To be fair

I'm consent with having not a lot of income

just enough to get by is fine with me.

I see the American Dream is alive and well

idk, when people say they want an amazing big house and so much shit

most of the shit they say, or think about, I don't really need/want

Good, don't buy into the lies

I dont need a huge TV, an amazing big house, i prefer small houses actually

What matters most is family and happiness

All I want is a nice desk, computer, a chair, and maybe a somewhat comfy bed

and no bugs

not asking for a lot

i already have one of those things

See, I've found that after I started making money, I started to enjoy buying shit almost like a game

Slowly upgrading everything

See

"improving" my place

I would probably not do that

Just don't go trying to farm exp

I used to think the same way

"I don't really want anything"

And to an extent I still live pretty frugal

To be fair, I really don't like replacing things I like/are used to

But I can definitely tell, that having money makes me WAAAAAYYY more willing to spend money

the last non game/purchase i really just did for me/convience

was my nonxl new3ds

all my other purchases were switch games or like

actually all my money goes towards games

It's weird, I probably spend my money on the most insane shit, in most peoples eyes

Weird tech, books, servers, etc.

But then like, I never once upgraded from the shitty couch I found that someone was throwing out

Despite; whenever I'd sit on it, I'd think about how uncomfortable it was

I need Leg to weigh in, the only other person here who has disposable income now

i guess

most of my disposable income goes towards fast food these days

I mean, I assume you make decent money now, even after you account for rent/utilities

the parst i spend at least

Compared to when you were in uni

yeah and i'm saving it

i've bought books like this https://smile.amazon.com/Kingdom-Agarttha-Journey-Hollow-Earth/dp/1594772681/ and this https://smile.amazon.com/Viking-Spirit-Introduction-Mythology-Religion/dp/1533393036/ recently

idk, maybe I'm just an outlier then I felt like after I started making money, I was way more willing to spend then I used to be

i spent money more wildly in college

huh, interesting
